De Bruyne signs for Napoli after leaving Man City
Film mogul De Laurentiis posted a picture of himself shaking hands with De Bruyne on social media with the message "welcome Kevin!" Belgium midfielder De Bruyne has reportedly signed a two-year deal with an option for a third at Napoli, where he will join up with international teammate Romelu Lukaku and former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay. The 33-year-old left City at the end of this past season after a trophy-packed decade in Manchester, where under Pepe Guardiola he won six Premier League titles and in 2023 the Champions League. He has however suffered from a series of physical problems in recent seasons, with two hamstring injuries causing him to miss significant chunks of the last two campaigns. Napoli have brought in one of Europe's top midfielders as the Italians try to bolster a squad which next season will defend the Scudetto while also having the extra fixture pressure of the expanded Champions League. Antonio Conte's Napoli beat Inter Milan to the Serie A title on the final day of the season, their second league crown in three years. But they had no European football clogging up their calendar, unlike Inter who got to the Champions League final only to be thumped 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain.

Watch: Giada De Laurentiis leads kitchen reno in Prime Video special
1 of 3 | Giada De Laurentiis arrives on the red carpet for the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2019. She will host an upcoming Prime Video special. File Photo by Chris Chew/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- Giada De Laurentiis will help gift a family the kitchen of their dreams in her Prime Video special Giada in My Kitchen, due June 23. In a trailer released Tuesday, De Laurentiis, 54, discusses her upcoming show near a fireplace. "I think I know a thing or two about setting up a great kitchen," the celebrity chef and former Food Network star said. "So many cooks are stuck with a kitchen that isn't working for them." That will change by the end of the special -- De Laurentiis will partner with Erik Garcia to renovate the space. "A great kitchen should feel like a dance -- everything in its place, just where you need it," she told People. "...I always prioritize flow and function first, then layer in beauty through natural materials like marble, wood and stone to bring warmth, texture and personality into the space." Giada left Food Network in 2023 after more than two decades, hosting such shows as Everyday Italian, Giada at Home and Giada's Weekend Getaways.

Pope meets Italian Serie A champs Napoli
VATICAN CITY: Pope Leo XIV welcomed Italy's newly crowned Serie A champions Napoli to the Vatican on Tuesday, joking about his own soccer allegiances. Napoli won their fourth 'Scudetto' on Friday with a 2-0 home victory over Cagliari, edging out Inter Milan by one point in a nail-biting end to the season. The team, captained by Italian international Giovanni Di Lorenzo, arrived for their papal audience a day after a triumphant open-top bus parade through central Naples. 'The press says I am an AS Roma fan, but you are welcome! This is what the press says. Not everything you read in the press is true,' the pope said, according to a transcript. Leo, the first pope to come from the US, follows and practices sports, including tennis. People who know him have described him to the media as an AS Roma supporter. Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis gave him a blue Napoli jersey signed by players, bearing the number 10 and his name in Italian, 'Papa Leone XIV'. 'You are a number 10, so you are a great striker', De Laurentiis said. Leo replied with a chuckle and a simple 'thank you'. Coach Antonio Conte, whom De Laurentiis introduced as 'deeply Catholic', knelt down and kissed the pope's hand, before Leo told him he had seen him many times on TV. In a short speech, the pontiff stressed the importance of team spirit and collaboration, and sport's educational value, especially for young people. Winning comes 'at the end of a long journey, where what matters the most is not a one-time exploit or the extraordinary performance of one champion', he said. 'The championship is won by the team, and when I say 'team' I mean the players, the coach with the whole squad, and the club,' he added. — Reuters Leo ended his remarks giving his blessings to players and club officials, and offering congratulations, also on behalf of his personal cook. 'She is from Naples and she says: best wishes! She would like to be here too, Mrs Rosa, (she is) a big fan', the pope said. — Reuters

He's already bought a villa – Napoli president on potential Kevin De Bruyne move
De Bruyne is out of contract and leaving Manchester City this summer after a decade at the Etihad Stadium in which he has won six Premier League titles and the Champions League. The 33-year-old Belgium playmaker has also been linked with a move to the United States but De Laurentiis appears confident of securing his services for Napoli. De Laurentiis was asked about the possibility as the club held an open-top bus parade to celebrate their second title success in three years. He told RAI: 'Will he get to lift this cup too? Probably yes. I know that he's sorted a few things already and I believe he's already bought a beautiful villa. 'This morning I was on a video call with him, his wife and his nine-year-old son and it was a beautiful sight.' But asked if this could be considered official confirmation of a move, De Laurentiis added: 'Not yet. Until it's in black and white, there will be no confirmation.' De Bruyne made his 421st and, in all likelihood, final appearance for City as a late substitute in their last Premier League game of the season at Fulham on Sunday. De Bruyne could still be eligible to represent City at this summer's Club World Cup but he is not expected to be involved in the tournament in the United States.
